All the simple things that happen in my life
Always seem so black or white
But I never get them right
And so I try to run away from all my sins
And that's how my story begins
Inside an empty house with walls so paper thin
Here I go again
I know that you're supposed to learn to love
From mom and dad but that's not enough
The past few years have been a little tough for us
And when I was younger I never missed
The fact that mom and dad they never kissed
And maybe that's the reason I'm like this now
Ever since I was fifteen I didn't know how to say no
I never learned to take it slow
So why not let him take a go?
And I give away pieces of me I can't get back
To boys who'll only make me sad
When they leave my heart out on their doorsteps in a sac
Oh I can't handle that
I know that you're supposed to learn to love
From mom and dad but that's not enough
The past few years have been a little tough for us
And when I was younger I never missed
The fact that mom and dad they never kissed
And maybe that's the reason I'm like this now
In a few months I'll leave everything I know
To start a new life on my own
It's about time that I go
And maybe someday I won't be so insecure
And this depression will be cured
But I know that you could never be my saviour
And I know it's far too late to learn to love
For mom and dad I'm never enough
I make a home in other men's arms
But I still feel alone
And I've got nowhere to turn
I guess that's what I get
For living in a house that's not a home
